How much is a Colecovision Kevtris cartridge worth?

[Zak]

Kevtris is a Limited Edition Homebrew, only 100 made, so it should be worth quite a lot. I'd say its worth around $300.

[klicker]

I agree, that one is pretty rare

[jared]

Sounds about right

I was bored the other day and curious about what my videogame collection is worth... found this thread.

I bought Kevtris straight from the creator when he was selling them... I think I have #99 or #100/100. I let my friend borrow a bunch of ColecoVision games a long time ago, including Kevtris.

Apparently I need to call him and hope that his parents didn't throw away his ColecoVision stuff when he moved out :O

[klicker]

yeah that would definitely suck if they threw away your rare game that was made in such limited distribution

How did the creator sell it, like was it through a magazine ad or something?

Also how much did it cost originally?

thanks

I'm not positive, but I believe he sold them almost entirely through the IRC channel #rgvc. If I remember correctly, he used to have a website that he advertised it on too, along with information on all of the cool experiments he was doing.

I used to chat with him a lot and try to get him to build me Coleco multicarts, etc. I was in Jr. High at the time, and probably very annoying, but he was a real friendly guy. I remember once he agreed to flash Q-bert's Qubes on to a ColecoVision cart I had that had a removable chip, but I messed up removing the chip and the idea kind of fell by the wayside.

Anyway, I can't remember how much Kevtris cost, but I'm guessing $20. I think it also came with an instruction manual, which hopefully I still have.

[BlackFlag79]

I found his old website

I was right about the game being $20 + $3 shipping.

My friend just texted me and said it's in a box in his parents' attic. Good to know such a rare game didn't end up at the dump

[Invader]

Very interesting, thanks for those links!

If you really have #100/100 I think it would be worth even a whole more than $300. #1/100 and #100/100 would be the most valuable ones I figure, who knows how high those could sell.

[klicker]

Yeah I would say Kevtris #1/100 is worth the most followed by Kevtris #100/100

So have you found out yet what happened with your Kevtris cart?

[BlackFlag79]

So have you found out yet what happened with your Kevtris cart?

Yeah, my friend said his parents have it in a box in the attic

I'm 90% sure it's #100... I'm pretty sure I remember asking for the last one, hoping it would be worth something someday... didn't think it would ever be worth all that much though.

I see Kevtris #68/100 is up on Ebay for $300:

Yeah, I saw that. I guess another one went for about $330, one for $300, and one for $100 many years ago.

Today I was doing inventory on all of my games, manuals, and systems, and I found the original Kevtris instructions. There's a tear out of two corners from where I opened the package when I first received the game in the mail, so that's kind of disappointing. But at least I didn't throw it away

[klicker]

Nice, probably worth at least 40% more with the instructions

[Zak]

Yeah I wonder how much more Kevtris is worth with the original instructions myself. I think that when I've these cartridges on Ebay or something, I only saw them loose without the instructions.

Too bad you didnt keep the original package it came in as well

[BlackFlag79]

I could always visit the local landfill and see where they dumped the garbage from 13 years ago

[Invader]

What type of package did it come in?
